Physocarpus opulifolius 'SMPOTW'

Tiny Wine Ninebark pairs richly colored burgundy leaves with clusters of small pinkish-white flowers in late spring. The contrast is especially striking when sunlight catches the foliage. Its compact, branching habit makes it an excellent alternative to oversized purple-leaved shrubs in a mixed border.

Why Gardeners Love Tiny Wine Ninebark

- Dark foliage contrast: Burgundy leaves set off chartreuse grasses, white flowers, and bright green shrubs.

- Late-spring blossoms: Rounded clusters of delicate blooms soften the plant's bold foliage color.

- Cold-climate adaptability: Ninebark is a hardy deciduous shrub suited to many northern landscapes.

- Compact growth: A three-to-five-foot height fits smaller beds better than larger ninebark selections.

- Seasonal structure: Its branching framework adds character even after leaves fall.

Where to Plant Tiny Wine Ninebark

Give Tiny Wine room to show its natural outline in a sunny border, as a loose low hedge, or beside ornamental grasses. The foliage is typically richest in brighter light. Plan for approximately four feet of spread and avoid planting too close to a narrow walkway.

Growing and Care Tips

Plant in well-drained soil and water deeply through the first season. Once established, ninebark is relatively adaptable, though prolonged drought can still stress young plants. If shaping is needed, prune just after flowering; excessive late-season cutting can reduce the following spring's display. USDA zones 3–7 are a general guide; check local conditions before planting.
